At least 12 people have been killed after two trains collided head-on in southern Italy, say firefighters.
Dozens of other passengers are reported to have been injured in the crash, near the town of Andria.
The two passenger trains collided in the middle of an olive grove in the Puglia region of Italy, a spokesman for the fire brigade said.
Police said the accident happened on a single stretch of track between the towns of Corato and Andria.
Reports said rescue workers were pulling victims from the rubble, including a small child who was alive.
An aerial image showed train carriages derailed and badly damaged by the head-on collision, with debris spread out on either side of the track.
The Italian prime minister, Matteo Renzi, said the train crash "is a moment of tears" and has promised to find the cause.
